Volume 4 Chapter 20 The Mountains and Rivers Are Unharmed
Shangguan Mansion, Shangguan Jinfeng Room.
Su Yongjin's injuries were basically fine and tended to heal, and Shangguan Zhaocai gave some instructions to the imperial doctor before coming back. At present, Su Yongjin has also gone to the court to do things normally.
After listening to Shangguan Zhaocai's words, Shangguan Jinfeng finally put his mind at ease: "Their father and daughter haven't come back this year, and the house is quieter." ”
Shangguan Zhaocai said: "The master said, let the mother not worry. Xiao Shifeng saw it thoroughly and would not embarrass him. ”
Shangguan Jinfeng sighed: "He has read so many sage books, doesn't he know the truth that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger." It's just that literati probably have inner stubbornness. ”
Shangguan Zhaocai said: "There is another matter, which Qiao'er told her mother. ”
"Speak. ”
Qiao'er said that now there are many people outside the Su Mansion who secretly spy on the master, whether it is the upper or lower dynasty. Those people didn't seem hostile, and they even cared about the well-being of the master. After Shangguan Zhaocai finished speaking, Shangguan Jinfeng frowned: "It's not a person from Shangguan Mansion, it can only be a person from the imperial court." Although the lord's official position is heavy, since he became an official, he has only been an ordinary guard, and who else dares to do anything in Kyoto? Not to mention the identity of the master, everyone in the rivers and lakes knows it, and they are afraid of three points. These people, if they were sent by the imperial court to monitor, would not be so obvious. It should be made for people to see, and for whom?"
Shangguan Jinfeng stepped by step: "Could it be that someone wants to assassinate the master, and the court is taking precautions?"
Shangguan Zhaocai was surprised: "Didn't my mother say that the master is in Kyoto, and the most dangerous person he faces is Xiao Tiantu?"
Shangguan Jinfeng said: "The biggest threat is Xiao Tiantu, but Xiao Tiantu is anxious now, even before, there is no reason to kill the master, and even he still has some respect for the master." I'm afraid that it is a master of the rivers and lakes that the court will be so nervous. ”
"Who is that for?" Shangguan Zhaocai wondered.
"The closest to Taiping City, and the one that has happened recently, I'm afraid that the only one is the Dragon and Tiger Alliance that Long Yingtian has reinstated. Shangguan Jinfeng sneered: "Long Yingtian has always been ruthless and ruthless, if he really wants to provoke disputes between the court and the rivers and lakes, killing the master is one way." ”
"How dare he ......" Shangguan Zhaocai's voice did not fall, Shangguan Jinfeng took a deep breath and said: "Long Yingtian's generation of grandmasters, he is ruthless, there is nothing to dare to." ”
As soon as Xiao Tiantu recovered from a serious illness, he reviewed the New Year's texts sent by the generals of various prefectures in the general's mansion.
After the establishment of the new dynasty, the imperial court used measures to supervise the generals of various prefectures. From the Qi Nian text, we can know what the local government general did last year, what benefits it played, how the grain, grass, soldiers and horses in the city were, how much money and how much materials need to be asked from the imperial court for next year's turnover, all of which were directly reported to the general's mansion.
Xiao Tiantu consulted the text of Qi Nian, and the performances of various state capitals are roughly as follows:
Qi Weiyuan, the governor of Saibei, built arrow stacks for various passes last year, and Qi Weiyuan said that the heavy iron bow equipment is now the most effective equipment for defending against barbarians in Saibei, and he still needs to find the imperial court to ask for another 3,000 pairs. To read
Zhao Xiong, the general of Luzhou Prefecture, selected eighteen children who were strong and strong in the eleventh year of Taiping, and their bodies far exceeded those of ordinary people, and they are now all seventeen or eighteen years old. Zhao Xiong asked the general to give him a name, Xiao Tiantu was very satisfied, and with a wave of his pen, he named Eighteen King Kong Wei. In addition, Zhao Xiong applied for a reward of 5,000 silver from the imperial court to reward the three armies in peacetime, and Xiao Tiantu readily agreed. He knew that this was Zhao Xiong's usual style, Zhao Xiong didn't love money, but he knew how to convince people with money.
Lin Youzu, the general of Huizhou Mansion, reported that Huizhou Mansion has sufficient grain and grass, and the army and the people are happy, please rest assured. Xiao Tiantu knew that this person was not only the emperor's uncle, but also the person Xiao Shifeng trusted, his Qi Nianwen was roughly like this every year, the title of King Wuxian was worthy of the name, Xiao Shifeng looked at people, but it was terrifying.
Zhang Fashu, the general of Ganzhou Prefecture, wrote that the 500 mu of land that Ganzhou had requisitioned from the people the year before last had been taken over by the army and the yield was even higher, and he applied to the imperial court for another 2,000 silver to be used to expand the land by another 500 mu this year, and it was expected that if there was a bumper harvest next year, it could be sold for money. For Zhang Fashu, Xiao Tiantu's impression has always been reliable and cautious, so with a stroke of the pen, he ordered the household department to allocate money to him again.
Shi Lei, the general of Luzhou Mansion, was old and poor, and wanted to choose an acre and three points of land to retreat, but in fact, he wanted the imperial court to confer a knighthood on him, so that his son Quartzjie, who was a city guard at the west gate of Taiping City, would take over his class. Xiao Tiantu also discussed with Xiao Shifeng, and Xiao Shifeng felt that he had to go through two more years of training, so Xiao Tiantu wrote that Shi Lei should be old and strong, and he must not live up to His Majesty's trust. By the way, talking about Quartz Jie, Xiao Tiantu said that Shi Lei taught well, Quartz Jie is young and promising, and he will be promoted to deputy general of the General's Mansion this year. Xiao Tiantu buys people's hearts and copes with them easily.
Cao Mengbo wrote that the soldiers were strong and the horses were strong, and there was no movement in the Nine Xuanmen, and everything was as usual. At the same time, he said that there was enough food and grass, and he tried not to cause trouble to Xiao Tiantu.
Cheng Shiyong, the capital of Minzhou, also resigned to Xiao Tiantu because of perennial headaches. Xiao Tiantu is considering whether to let his son Cheng Min often take over to comfort people's hearts.
Liu Shiqi, the general of Yuezhou Mansion, wrote that Yuezhou had a great drought last year, and he needed the imperial court to allocate 50,000 taels of silver, and Xiao Tiantu agreed.
Luo Datong, the general of Xizhou Prefecture, also resigned for the first time. Xiao Tiantu is preparing to transfer his son Luo Xing to take over this year.
Liu Botao, the general of Lingnan Prefecture, wrote to the official mansion that everything was normal, and there were fewer guests last year than in previous years, and there was no reactionary phenomenon.
Zhao Heshan, the general of Suzhou Prefecture, promised to domesticate 100 black-hoofed horses last year to widen the military. He asked the imperial court to allocate 100,000 silver for the construction of the state capital. Zhao Heshan has a heart, and he is Li Lanyi's nephew, Xiao Tiantu agreed on the spot.
Su Zishan, the general of Gyeongju Prefecture, reported that Gyeongju was short of food and needed tuntian. Xiao Tiantu told Su Zishan what Zhang Fashu did in Ganzhou, and asked him to learn from it, and he would see the effect next year.
Xiao Limin, the general of Qingzhou Mansion, came to report the good news again, and this year he can offer more than 100,000 fresh melons and fruits to supply the state capital of the world.
Xu Dahu, the general of Guizhou Prefecture, wrote that there were not enough private schools in Guizhou City, and the new population was large, so he implored the imperial court to allocate more silver taels. Xu Dahu has always been cautious, and he didn't dare to ask for more silver taels, Xiao Tiantu knew that he was a general of the previous dynasty, so with a stroke of his pen, he asked the household department to allocate an extra 10,000 taels.
The Yunzhou Prefecture General Sima Lang wrote that the arsenal in the city was insufficient, and he needed to add 3,000 swords, 3,000 spears, and 2,000 bows and arrows. Xiao Tiantu hesitated again and again, and also approved.
Wang Mao, the general of the Nanhai Prefecture, wrote that five large ships were built this year.
Liang Zuo, the general of the Xinzhou government, also came to report the good news, saying that Xinzhou is expected to become the second Qingzhou.
Liao Qian, the general of the Tibetan Prefecture, asked the imperial court to let him recruit another 10,000 soldiers and horses, and asked for relevant supplies. Xiao Tiantu also knew about Xirong's disturbance of the people, and he was afraid that he would become the second Saibei, so he immediately agreed.
General and Kun of Duzhou Prefecture reported that everything was normal. Duzhou is a foreigner, and Xiao Tiantu does not interfere as much as possible.
